Love & Lo Mein

 I love Valentine’s Day. Mostly because I love to send Valentine’s to my family and friends – this holiday makes for a great excuse to show the ones you love that you are thinking about them.

The Duggan family has a great tradition for Valentine’s Day. For the past three (going on four!) years, we have enjoyed Chinese food for our Valentine’s Day meal. It started in February 2013 when both Edward and I neglected to make a much-needed dinner reservation for our Valentine’s Day date. Of course, most restaurants in Manhattan were very busy – some with a two-hour wait! So we decided to see what the crowd was like at our favorite spot for Chinese food and to our delightful surprise, there were many open tables. Ever since, we have looked forward to our special Valentine’s dinner at Tasty China House. And this year we’ll be taking along our cutest Valentine – Murphy Rose!

I hope you all have one – or many – Valentine’s this year. Everyone could always use a little more love. See you next week and thanks for stopping by!
